tailieunhanh - RISK MANAGEMENT TRENDS

Although the etimology of the word risk is not certain, two possible sources are truly revealing: riscus and rizq. The mediaeval Latin word riscus signifies a reef or a rock sheer from the sea, evoking a sense of danger for the ships. The Arabic rizq can instead be interpreted as: all that comes from God, the bare essentials, from which an advantage can be taken. These two different meanings reflect the essential aspects of risks. They express the danger of suffering a loss as a consequence of adverse events but they could also relate to the acquisition of some kind of gain | RISK MANAGEMENT TRENDS Edited by Giancarlo Nota Risk Management Trends Edited by Giancarlo Nota Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
